If you build it...
they will come.'

On August 30th, 1999, Curry College opened
the doors to a brand new $5.5 million resi-
dence hall. The day consisted of a number of
speakers, a ribbon cutting ceremony, a recep-
tion in the lounge, as well as tours of the new
building. The suite style building houses 147
students in six-room suites. Five Resident
Assistants and the Assistant Director of Resi-
dence Life also occupy the building. Presi-
dent Kenneth Quigley was very excited about
the new building. "This is the first new
building to be built at Curry College since the
Drapkin Student Center was constructed in
1970. The building was a welcome addition
to the Curry College campus," stated Quigley.

Cutting Edge

President Quigley, John Santilli
(Chairman of the Board), Robert
O'Connell (holding Bob Jr.), and John
Fish (President, Suffolk Construction)
officially open the new residence hall.

Presidential Address

President Quigley addresses the
crowd during the ribbon cutting cer-
emony. The crowd included mem-
bers of the faculty, staff. Board of
Trustees, and community members.

Picture Perfect

Opening day finally arrived for the
new suite style residence hall. Stu-
dents, faculty, staff, and Milton com-
munity members had an opportunity
to view the new building inside and
out!

Rolling...Rolling...RoIling

new building for final preparations
before the students arrived.

encourage inner city and at-risk middle
school students to attend college. Curry
College faculty, staff and students serve
as tutors and mentors to strengthen aca-
demic skills and self-esteem for the sev-
enth and eighth graders. The program
is one of 11 partnerships in the Boston
area under the auspices of the Boston
Higher Education Partnership. Rogers
Middle School graduates of this pro-

gram may qualify for scholarships to
Curry College.

Diversity
Dinners

The Institutional Committee on
Diversity was hard at work
during the 1999-2000 school
year preparing Diversity Din-
ners for both the spring and fall
semesters. The committee has
the task of working with other
campus groups to provide the
Curry College Community
with a variety of quality pro-
grams. These programs seek to
foster a wider understanding
and appreciation of diversity
issues. The fall dinner took

place on November 18 and
showcased the great sounds of
the band Rumbafrica. The
spring dinner showcased the
music of the Brazilian Culture
Center band. Sodexho provided
and outstanding collection of
ethnic foods for both events.
Groups such as SGA, CAB, In-
ternational Club, Multicultural
Club, the President's Office,
Dean's Office and PAL donated
resources to make the events
such great successes.

Lessons

Javier Garcia is taught to dance to the music during the
spring Diversity Dinner in the Drapkin Cafeteria. The cafe
was turned converted into a great setting for music and
festivities.

Put Your Best Foot Forward

New Students arrived on
campus bright and early on
Sunday, August 29. Students
arriving with family and
friends were greeted by
members of the 1999 Orien-
tation staff at almost every
corner. The Orientation
staff directed students to
various parts of campus to
attend to any loose ends
that needed to be tied up.
Once students had met all
obligations they had with
the college, they were each
directed to their residence
halls to meet the Residence
Life staff. Students then
had a chance to move their
belongings into their new
home and meet other mem-

bers of their new commu-
nity. The remainder of the
day consisted of an all col-
lege welcome, a good-bye
reception for parents, and
several programs to help
the new students get ac-
quainted with one another.

Twenty Orientation
Leaders, thirty-seven Resi-
dent Assistants and a count-
less number of faculty, staff
and administrators helped
make the next several days
informative, educational,
and fun.

"I have a number of chil-
dren in college, and this was
the most organized Orien-
tation I've seen," exclaimed
one parent.

A Family Affair

Family Weekend V9 connects families with the Curry Staff

Family Weekend 1999 seemed
to be a great event for all in
attendance. The weekend be-
gan on Friday, October 15th
with a welcome reception at
1000 Brush Hill Road. The
reception was held for family,
faculty and staff members. On
Saturday, Families were
treated to a Faculty Brunch
where they were given the op-
portunity to meet with profes-
sors. "This was a great way for
parents to get together with
faculty members, ask ques-
tions about classes as well as
how their student is doing in a
particular class," stated Terrie
Daley of Parent/ Alumni Rela-
tions. After brunch there was
a complimentary shuttle into
Boston to allow families to take
in the sights. Those who chose

not to venture into Boston were
entertained by the Curry
Colonel's win over Western
New England College.
The evening event seems to be
the event that everyone would
talk about. The night began
with a cocktail reception in the
President's Dining room. Af-
ter the reception families were
treated a gourmet dinner and
a live theatre performance. The
cafeteria was transformed into
a beautiful array of stars, top
hats, black lights and glowing
curtains. The crowd was taken
on a "Musical Journey" by the
Riverside Dinner Theatre. The
dance floor was then open to
everyone, and the good times
continued. There was never a

SHOW

March 16, 2000 was a night
to remember for the mem-
bers of the Curry College com-
munity who helped organize
the fashion show that took
place in Miller Gymnasium
at 8:30pm. This successful
show took months of plan-
ning and required a tremen-
dous amount of help from ev-
eryone involved.

Audtions were held to
choose models, letters were
written to clothing stores for
merchandise, contracts were
signed and rehearsals were
scheduled. The date was set
and all of the hard work
would soon pay off.

Sophmore Class President

Patricia Gonzalez stated,
"Each committee put their
heart and soul into promot-
ing, designing, and organiz-
ing the show. They were re-
sponsible for setting up the
stage, controlling the lighting,
writing descriptions of cloth-
ing, designing programs, run-
ning late rught rehearsals and
making countless phone calls. "
The hardwork and dedica-
tion certainly paid off, as the
fashion show was one of the
highlights of the Spring Se-
mester.

"Every thing sounded so easy
at the beginning. Above all,
we had tons of fun and many
laughs," stated Gonzalez.

CeteBnatea 25 ^ecuio.

On April 1, 2000 WMLN passed yet another milestone by
celebrating its 25th Anniversary. WMLN was the vision of
Roger Alan Bump, who establish Voice at Curry (WVAC) back
in 1971. Alan Frank, MLN's Director of Broadcasting, is the
product of what WMLN is today. MLN signed on the air in 1975
as a 10 watt, 25 person, student run radio station. At that time
students would sign off the air at night or when they had class.
Today the station is on the air 24 hours a day. Currently, MLN
has over 100 students working within the 175 watt radio station.

" I have been at Curry
College and WMLN-FM for
over 22 years. My arrival at
Curry in September, 1977
found a very new MLN.
Equipment was limited, and
there was no academic
connections to the Communi-
cation Department. My first
priority was to renew the
radio station's license. Upon
completing the renewal, I
offered a 1 -credit per
semester course for all radio
students working at WMLN.
My third priority was to
increase the station's support
budget from the College, and
the fourth priority was
increasing power... WMLN
has provided a service to
Curry students and the
communities we serve for 25
years. The future looks very
bright..."

If This Hallway Could Talk!!

Before this hallway incorporated 91.5 WMLN, it would
provide students of Curry College a place to relax. The
current WMLN building was once the college's Student
Center, a place where students could go to grab a snack,
get out of the cold, catch up on some homework, or just
sit with some friends before class.

1979

"As the station manager at
91.5 WMLN, it is my duty to
oversee the running of the
radio station. The beauty of
Curry College Radio is that the
station is completely student
run. Running a college radio
station is great. We have so
many different personalities
here, and our personnel comes
from many different places.
The mixture of musical
interest fits perfectly into our
system. Variety is what makes
radio great... With out WMLN
I am not sure where I would
be right now. Almost all of
my accomplishments can be
filtered back to WMLN. If
anyone is looking for a place
to meet new people, and have
a great time, try radio. Thank
you to all of you who have
made this so special."

The Departments

What makes WMLN so special is that
the station is totally student run. In
order for MLN to air successfully 24
hours a day seven days a week, there
are six departments that work day in
and day out to make sure MLN remains
the best college radio station in
Massachusetts. Take a look at the
directors that work together to make
each department the best they can be.

How Many Volts?

Ric Allison, Sam Quain and Nick
Capalbo (Engineering Directors) stand

WMLN. The station has a department
for those students who are good with
electronics and have the knack for fixing
things.

Reporting Live

Anthony Fabrizio does a live
interview with Coach Steve Nelson
following the broadcast of a Colonels

Department gives the students a

Anthony Fabrizio were the tandom
that brought the play-by-play of
Curry College Football to the radio in

for 2000 as well.

Getting the Word Out

Stacey Breuer and Brian Felicella are

Department. Bringing the campus up

PUB MEMORIES

With the Alumni Recreation Center (ARC) condemned,
students were forced to have their pubs in the Annex of
the cafeteria. The bi-weekly student organization run
pubs were a place where Curry students could go and
enjoy a night of friends, music and fun. The Alcohol
Beverage Committee (ABC) oversaw each pub ensuring
a safe entertainment at all times. Alum Ben Donovan
served as DJ for the majority of the pubs including
several theme pubs such as a Hawaiian party, Superbo wl
pub and a Halloween costume party. Although pubs
were held in the Annex, students enjoyed their time and
look forward to the new ARC opening in the Fall 2000.

Curry Theatre Presents

"The Imaginary Invalid"

Curry Theatre brought in the 1999-2000 school year with Moliere's classic The Imaginary Invalid.
Performed in The Little Theatre over November 13'^- 16'^, John Barrett, Technical Director for Curry
Theatre, took the helm as director. For the first time in several years, six veterans and six newcom-
ers represented this cast of twelve actors. "If it were not for this play, I don't think I would have
made the close friends that I have today, stated freshman Bill Skog. The cast and crew began work-
ing on the play in late September, and spent every weekend for two months building the magnificent
set. The fast pace humor of Moliere, plus the wit of the vivacious cast had the audience rolling in the
aisles. Some memorable moments included The Diaphorus Boys (portrayed by Freshmen Andrew
Harpold and Bill Skog), The Weasally Lawyer (Played by Sophomore Ryan Green), The Lovable M
yet Cunning Maid (portrayed by Senior Katie Mello) and not to mention the Invalid himself (Junior
Michael Adami). Seniors Katie Mello (General Manager) and Spencer Everett Jawitz (Business
Manager) wouldn't want to open their senior year any other way!

Campus Activities Board's
Spring Fling 2000 was a major
hit across campus. Students were
treated to music, movies, com-

began on Tuesday, April 25 with
a night of music by Dave Binder.
Dave played all the hits includ-
ing covers of Jimmy Buffett,
James Taylor and more. A rainy
Wednesday April 26 brought this
year's drive-in movie into the

CURRY
FOOTBALL

The 1999 season looked as if it was going to be a
repeat experience for the Curry College football
team. The Colonels went through their schedule
by mirroring their results from 1998, six wins
against the same six teams and three losses against
the same three teams. Curry's most crucial game
took place at Salve Regina with the outcome of the
game possibly deciding the 1999 Blue Division
titleholder in the NEFC. In the end of the trying
match, a school record-tying 46-yard field goal
from rookie placekicker Bill Lovendale was the
only scoring the Colonels would do. The
Seahawks defeated Curry 14-3. Two weeks later
however, the mood was decidedly more upbeat. A
33-0 triumph over UMass Boston on November
6th granted Curry it's first back to back winning
season since 1986. It also happened to be Curry's
first shutout in more then a decade. The last team
the Colonels had to face was Umass Dartmouth,
winning this last game would mean the difference
between repeating last years solid record of 6-4,
and an even better season with a record of 7-3.
The game started out rough, but Curry came back
fighting with touchdowns from Captain John
Barr, and Brian Walsh. The Corsairs jumped on
top once again until one of the most dramatic
comeback victories in Curry Football history.
Curry Linebacker Ranee Cooley intercepted the
ball and ran it back 10-yards scoring for the
Colonels and the game was Curry's with a final
score of 21-17. Next season, the Colonels will
strive for a "three-peat" of sorts, attempting to
string together three consecutive winning seasons.
Second year head coach Steve Nelson left his
seniors with the words, "I am very proud of the
athletes' work. The seniors this year have really
taken the season with incredible stride."

MEN^SSOCCER

A look back at the 1999 season.

Rebuilding a college athletics
program necessarily involves sea-
sons like the one experienced by
first-year head coach Brendan
Donahue in 1999. His men's soc-
cer squad worked as hard as any
on-field rival, but came up on the
short end of all but three contests.
The season started promisingly,
with a pair of scoreless ties against
Emerson, and Anna Maria in the
seasons first three games. But a
school record-tying, 13-game los-
ing streak ensued-snapped fi-
nally on October 20th in the sea-
sons next-to-last contest. That
5-1 victory over Suffolk was made
possible by sophomores Paul
Fioretti and Peter Smith who

90 • Curry College

netted three and two goals respec-
tively. Co-captain Sean Timlin had
another busy year in goal for the
Colonels. The junior made 191
saves in 17 games. Timlin finished
third in the nation with 11.2 saves
per game.

"My inaugural season with the
Colonels was a struggle, but the
foundation for future success was
implemented," said head coach
Donahue. "When I arrived at Curry
team moral was low and the con-
cept of being regionally competi-
tive was nonexistent. Today the
team structure is in place, and it is
now my job to add better players."
The Colonels will look to heavy
recruiting in the off season.

The right stuff

Forward Aaron Smith practices some moves

WOMEN'S
SOCCER

A LOOK BACK AT THE 1999 SEASON

September may not have been the kindest month for the
Colonels women's soccer squad. First year coach Danielle
Ferrara saw her squad struggle to an 1-8-1 record that included
six shutout losses. Progress arrived in October, however, as
Curry posted a 4-5-1 record including a pair of 1-0 victories over
CCC rivals New England College and Eastern Nazarene. The
Colonels brightest star on offense was junior midfielder Donna
Walsh, who paced the team in scoring with 26 points (12 goals, 2
assists). Walsh led Curry's second-half surge by scoring the
game winning goals in victories over Fitchburg State, Emerson,
and Eastern Nazarene. At seasons end, Walsh was deservedly
named to the CCC's all-conference second team. Rookie Alison
Schiffman was a solid contributor in her 16 games, netting five
goals. Junior captain Hilary Baker, junior Jill Gordon, and
sophomore Liz Middleton all had four goals on the season.
Goalkeeping was an unsettled affair until freshmen Aimee
Petrosky took over the full time job in October. She performed
well in five conference starts, finishing with a record of 2-3, an
impressive .869 save percentage, 2.00 goals against average, and
a pair of shutouts. Coach Ferrara concluded the season by
saying, "After the season had come to a close, the one word that
stuck in my mind was heart. That is what each and every athlete
found within herself and played with every day."

Qieerleading

The 1999 football cheerleading squad worked hard all
season to help motivate the Colonels football team, as
well as the faithful fans. Through the tough practices
and the cold games, the women made it all come alive.
Each member of the team led the crowd in cheers,
performed stunts, and built pyramids, all while cheer-
ing the home team toward victory. The women showed
off their skills during home games on the sidelines as
well as during the halftime festivities. The team was
lead by first year coach John Gilbert. John came to
Curry with a cheerleading background from the Uni-
versity of Rhode Island, and he is also a professional
coach from the Universal Cheerleading Association.
This small team of dedicated women look forward to

Men's Ice Hockey
1999 - 2000

Former Boston University
standout Rob Da vies was hired
as the Colonels head ice hockey
coach on November 4, 1999,
bringing a new attitude and
outlook across campus. It was
immediately apparent that
Davies would infuse the strug-

some desperately needed sta-
bility.

The team finished with a 4-18-
1 record overall and a 3-14-0
mark in ECAC Northeast play.
Although the record was reas-

on for disappointment,
hopeful signs remained
well after the final game
was played.

Women's
Basketball

The 1999-2000 women's bas-
ketball team experienced a
phenomenon that, on one
hand, may have been its best
attribute, yet on the other hand,
its greatest shortcoming. Over
24 games, the Colonels had
seven different players claim
game-high scoring honors,
while 10 different players took
game high rebounding hon-
ors. Coach Michael Barrett was
getting contributions from his
entire team, unfortunately, he

never found one or two "go-
to" players who could consis-
tently power the offense or take
charge of the boards. In a sea-
son where a 6-1 8 overall record
and a 3-9 conference record
left many disappointed, senior
Liz Londergan dished out her
413 career assist, moving her

MEN'S
BASKETBALL

The 1999-2000 Curry men's
basketball season had its full
complement of inspired mo-
ments and crushing disap-
pointments. The Colonels,
under second year Head Coach
Sean Casey, were expected to
challenge for the school's first
Commonwealth Coast Confer-
ence Title since 1986. The
Colonels had four of five start-
ers returning to the fold, in-
cluding all-conference per-
formers and team captains Eric
Ferris and Brian Williams.

Although the team did not
advance beyond the first round
of the tournament, there were
a number of individual accom-
plishments that were attained.
Both Williams and Ferris
reached the 1,000 career mark
during the 1999-2000 season.
Ferris finished his Curry ca-
reer with 1,168 points, placing
him 8th on the all-time scoring
list. He also set school marks
for three-point field goal at-
tempts in a season, three-point
field goal attempts in a career,
and steals.

STUDENT
GOVERNMENT
ASSOCIATION

The Curry College Student Government Association (SGA) is the official student governing body of
the college. Members of SGA met every Wednesday in the basement of the Office of Student Activities
at 2:00 P.M. to discuss issues affecting the college community. As the voice of the Curry College student
body, SGA worked hard to build positive relationships with the faculty and staff of the college.
Safety and Security issues were a hot topic all year for SGA members. Several campus incidents
prompted the members of SGA to begin working closely with members of the college's Senior Staff.
Dean Fedo, Bobby O'Connell, Gerard Linsky, Tom Butler and Michael Riley allowed students the oppor-
tunity to express their concerns during SGA meetings. As a result of the work done by all parties in-
volved, the college agreed to upgrade lighting and security on campus. Additional lighting, patrol
officers and even a second guard shack were added to help maintain a safe living and learning environ-
ment for Curry students.

Each member of SGA was responsible for sitting on various committees throughout the year. Students
sat on committees such as the Food Committee, Health Committee, ADA Committee, Athletic Commit-
tee, Honorary Degree Committee, Library Committee, Posting Committee, Academic Affairs Committee,
Undergraduate Committee, Career Development Committee, Technology Center Committee, Academic
Policy Committee, Health and Safety Committee, Student Affairs Committee and Bachas Committee.
Students had the opportunity to meet with faculty and staff from the college and were responsible for
reporting back to SGA with information on what each committee was working on.

SGA held an open forum during both the fall and spring semesters. The purpose of the forums were
to generate questions from the students and direct them to the Senior Staff. Students had the opportu-
nity to express concerns with Senior Staff as well as let them know what aspects of Curry College the
students enjoy. The forums were open to the entire campus community and helped to allow open
communication with Senior Staff.

SGA held two Open Houses which were designed to open the Student Activities Office to students
who may have wanted to find out a little bit about what members of the SGA did and how they repre-
sented the student body. SGA members, faculty and staff all participated in the Open Houses to bring a
greater awareness about SGA.

For the third straight year, SGA sponsored a less fortunate child from outside the U.S. SGA sponsored
two children during the 1999-2000 school year and received several cards and notes from the children.

SGA members often volunteered their time to better themselves as well as the community. SGA
members got involved in the Gear Up program that helped mentor seventh grade students at the Rogers
School in Hyde Park. Members also donated time to work with a local chapter of the Special Olympics
as well as with radio station 94.5 on the "Rock the Vote" campaign.

SGA President Jeff Uryga and the rest of the Executive Board worked hard all year long to build a
strong relationship between SGA and the student body. It was obvious by the success of the group that
the Student Government Association truly was the voice of students.

MEN'S
RUGBY

The 1999-2000 Men's Rugby
Team made tremendous
strides during the academic
year. The men put together a
challenging schedule both at
home and on the road. The
team gained plenty of support
from the college community
during their quest for field
space. The Student Govern-
ment Assosciation, Athletics
Office, Dean's Office and Of-
fice of Student Activities all
worked to aid the team in its

search for home playing fields.
The team also worked hard to
better the college community
by helping the Buildings and
Grounds department with
projects to beautify the cam-
pus.

The team of over thirty men is
looking to build on their 1999-
2000 schedule and add more
matches and increase their
visability on campus. They
have had great support from
fellow classmates all season.
